Our suggestions
Ingrid Thorburn is an unstable young woman with a checkered past of obsessive behavior. She secretly moves to Los Angeles to befriend Taylor Sloane — an Instagram "influencer". After Ingrid adopts a Taylor-made identity for herself, her attempts to prove she's BFF material are underway — that is, until she meets Taylor's obnoxious brother Nicky, who threatens to tear down her façade.
"This comedic critique of current society, where everything is done in the pursuit of social media acceptance, packs plenty of jabs that make us reflect on the need that internet has created in our minds and how it can interfere in our lives. 'Ingrid Goes West' provokes lots of laughter thanks to great performances by Audrey Plaza (from the show 'Legion') and Elizabeth Olsen (the Scarlet Witch from Marvel movies)."
